I wouldn’t light a match in some bathrooms I’ve been in. I’m supprised they didn’t explode when the light was turned on.
At least someone else didn’t light the match for her . . . 
I think the match-lighting thing is cultural. Mr. crazy4chaucer is of Polish descent, and I was astonished after we got married and he’d follow a ripe fart with a lit match. I just about killed him the day he waved a lit match by my backside after I farted – it melted a hole in my blue jeans and burned my skin!!!
How about the possibility of someone smelling something burning and setting off the fire alarm?
Most people find the aroma fresh baked bread preferrable, for this reason I always take Flour, yeast, warm water, a mixing bowl and an oven into the stall with me.
I think a huge box of matches should be required in every public restroom!
Anthracite, what’re you doing chatting up the bathroom materials with the employees of fast food restaurants? And how the heck did the Wendy’s employees know this? The wealth of knowledge I have let slip through my fingers by simply ordering. 
Mangetout, you made me grin!
Tibs.
This actually happened a store where I used to work. My coworker went to the bathroom in the back and presumably lit a match. The store was right on a corridor to the outside, and someone must have smelt it. The next thing I know, fire fighters are coming to the door.
I’ve seen a couple wooden stalls, but most are metal or (ugh) formica. The wooden ones are in taverns and forest preserves mostly.
For the record, this is one of the strangest threads I’ve seen lately. But go ahead and have fun with it!
I don’t think it’s so much a regional or cultural thing, but a generation thing. My grandmother always had a little tray of wooden matches in the bathroom.
